What determines whether the desktop icon captions on the Windows desktop
appear on a "transparent" background or a solid background?
That is, on the default Windows XP desktop with the "bliss" wallpaper
(the standard green meadiws & blue sky), on some systems the icon logs
are simply white letters overlaid on the wallpaper, but on other
systems, there is a solid color rectangle (blue by default) first
overlaid on the wallpaper, with the icon caption inside that rectangle.
The "transparent background" is far more attractive, but I'm fighting a
system now where I can't acheive it. The system's video card is an ATI
Radeon 7200 with 64 meg of memory, 1024x768, 32-bit color depth. I'd
think it should be capable of "transparent" backgrounds for the icon
logos, but I can't get there. I've tried different color depths and
resolutions, nothing helps. I'm using the very latest ATI drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
